They specialize in diagnosing and treating issues with the brain so they can help you determine what is wrong and what you need to do in order to heal or alleviate your pain.

Talking About Cannabis Marijuana

Welcome to ‘Talking About Cannabis’! This is the support and information-sharing website for everyone whose lives have been affected by cannabis abuse.Welcome to ‘Talking About Cannabis’! This is the support and information-sharing website for everyone whose lives have been affected by cannabis abuse.I am a freelance writer, living in London, UK, with my husband. We have three boys who are now 20, 17 and 14. Our eldest son, William, began smoking cannabis as a teenager, with school friends. He was around 14 then, and by 16 was suffering severe personality changes – and as a family we were reeling, and three years later we are still in the mire. We were confused for a long time, not knowing whether what was happening to him was as a result of normal adolescent changes or something more insidious. You can read more by clicking ‘My Story’ below. Read our son’s view of cannabis too.The TAC Blog is updated regularly. Read the entries and post comments HERE.We have started a new experiences page for 2008.Click this link to viewGreat news! You may have seen headlines – the Home Secretary is planning to reclassify cannabis back to Class B, after the ACMD review in the Spring, irrespective of that body’s advice and findings it would appear. This is a huge victory for parents across the country, many of whom have been working hard for this to happen. Thanks to everyone who signed our petition on this web-site, I would like to feel that our views expressed there have been listened to by Mr Brown who has yet to get back to us, but I am personally delighted with this news. Our campaign continues though – this is just the beginning! See the link to the story:www.timesonline.co.uk.

Wednesday January 16 2008Good News. I received an invitation today to give personal evidence to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) – Cannabis review meeting on Feb 5.

This list will then be sent to government as part of our lobby campaign. Click here for more information We have felt very alone over the past few years, but I know that there are millions of people worldwide who are struggling with family members who are using cannabis and that is what this site is all about. Some of the things we include on the site:

Information on cannabis – it’s not the stuff you smoked at college – it’s generally ‘skunk’ that is sold now, which is significantly stronger, and blows the circuits of young brains in particular, leading to very serious consequences for mental health.

Support for parents of teenagers who are smoking weed. We believe most parents try to cope alone with the problem in their family. Many are in crisis, not knowing where to turn. There is virtually no help for families of cannabis abusers, a good GP is the best you can hope for. Priority for resources is given to Class A drugs. A support network is urgently needed. Don’t struggle on alone, because you don’t have to! Join our mailing list, so we can keep you up to date, and download ‘Tips for Parents of weed-smoking teenagers’. You can get in touch with other parents through this site., or just simply share your experiences here. Maybe you’d like to set up a support group in your area? Let’s get things moving to help each other!Click HERE to go to the Support Group Co-ordinators page.Click HERE if you would like to contact us about helping to set up a support group in your area.

A chance for you to tell us your story – we’d love you to share your experiences with us. Your story could really help others, personal stories are very powerful healing tools. More often than not just writing about what’s going helps in itself – try it. You can also read the stories others have sent us.

Details of what is being done about the problem of cannabis abuse, especially among vulnerable children and teenagers. The drug was reclassified in the UK in 2004, becoming a Class C drug, putting it in the same category as anti-depressants and steroids. Many young people believe that cannabis is now legal, and harmless. It’s not! And it’s in every secondary school in the country, so no one can be complacent . It’s cheap (prices are falling) and easily accessible. Teenagers who smoke weed double their chances of developing schizophrenia, and many will develop psychosis with increased risk of suicide. The facts are these: Cannabis is extremely dangerous to children and teenagers in particular and can make them very ill indeed. What can we do collectively to change things? Let’s see!

We have now set up the Talking About Cannabis Action Group to lobby the government to put in place the ‘massive health education campaign’ promised by Charles Clarke at the time of reclassification, which never materialised. For more details click on ‘Campaign Group’ above.
